Wow, this is really incredible.. I even held my breath untill you connected the pieces together.. I have no words for it. How many times do you get to tell such a story, I guess you can count those moments on one hand.. Cherish them, and we love it that you are taking us with this special moment! Great!
Same here, awesome
Truly wonderful when you are given such a lovely momento from a total strangers life. The feelings of devotion are still there. 😢
Yes totally so and thanks Stephanie for being here.
Just WOW, what are the odds of you finding both halves? This looks like your haunted forest, maybe that's what was calling you back to that place. At any rate, your videos are, by FAR, better than any I've seen here and more educational than most professional documentaries. Add to that the fact that you include your children most of the time and you have a winning combo! I watch one then another and before I know it I've been watching you for hours! Everyone needs to know what the war was about and how it was for those fighting it. You bring it down to the human involved level. Excellent videos!
Great story and great day outside. Thanks
Your vids are very interesting and educational - keep them coming at any cost

Cool
I truly am happy that you got closure on this find That is so awesome I envy you in being able to go out and find these items going thru what you do to find them and having a grand time and sharing it all with us through UA-cam Your videos are truly enjoyable and your excitement is contagious
Applause
I like the sentimental and respectful way you view history and the things you find.
I know this happened a few years ago but wow....just wow. That is amazing to find matches pieces years apart. Thank you for sharing moments like this with us, thats quite a journey you've had
Thanks Colin and greetings from us.
I am SO impressed with your videos. My husband has asked that I play them on TV so the family can watch. I really like the way you point out the where the defensive positions were dug in, and which items were found so we can develop a mental picture of the men who fought there. Thanks!!!
Thanks for that and Greetings from us :)
Very emotional story to me.
It really puts a human being, a person with family and a loved one at home, in the war.
Sometimes we are desensitized to war and we don't equate the loneliness and horror, with real people.
This made it real again.
The person who said it should be shown to children in school, is right.
The drawing with the sun is very Newfoundlander like, in Canada.
It could have been a Canadian boy that did this.
I know the artist could be from anywhere, but like i said, this made it personal to me.
Well done, and Thanks from Canada
This is your destiny! To reunite the piece's and the history! Trench art! So remarkable!! Well done! Bravo!
Yes this was something else to be honest and loved it. Thanks.
That is absolutely incredible! That little box in itself was stunning! What an awesome find! One piece found and then three years later you find the other. Wow!
Thanks again Julie :)
Your passion for history and it's relics is very inspiring. I live outside AtlantaGeorgia and we have a lot of civil war areas. Your good hunting is inspiring me to go and get a metal detector and start doing my own relic hunting, especially with outer history. Atlanta was burned by union troops and their is much to be found, I'm sure. I hope in the future i might have something to show you. Good hunting
wow , how great to read and good Luck hunting history out there my friend. Greetings from us.
Who needs gold rings or coins when you can find something more precious / what a story these items hold - how not tells us of the actually feelings of the maker - trying to make something beautiful in the horror of war - something of peace amongst the destruction. Priceless .
Thanks Jules
Everyone should watch the WW2 movie, "Schindler's list". Best movie ever!
What you have found is so amazing, there are so much relics from the war out there, I didn’t know this til I watched your videos so interesting every piece
Thanks Steve
That is amazing you found two pieces after going back. Almost like someone wanted to be remembered.
i know , what a great little explore that was and thanks.
Amazing, I really enjoy your "Discoveries". As a Soldier myself...of 25yrs Service I have a deep affinity for Battlefields, because I know the pain of War. I left my metal Detector back in the UK for my Nephew, but one of your documentaries here has inspired me to go "magnet fishing"....I'll let you how what turns up......
+Duncan Tanner good on You. Og out and have fun and find stuff. You have something to be proud of With those 25 years of service. It is my honor to show You my videos. Thanks and Greetings from me.
Very cool, it's nice to find personalized items. My opa was in the Luftwaffe stationed in Peenemude, worked on the rocket program.
+Relic Robert Man of steal That must be a proud thing to remember from Your Opa.Thanks for watching and for the support.WW2HH
Best to think of it as the beginning of space exploration.
3rd Mountain Division of Wehrmacht were in Norway in 1943. And although that flower was primarily the emblem of 1 Mountain Division, transferes were common .
That is very interesting. If you search google "6th SS Mountain Division NORD Waffen SS cigarette case" you'll find a picture of a case with a similar flower and many other cigarette cases too. These cases are highly personalized. It would be interesting to contact some Norwegian News stations in Oslo and run a story on the case in search of Sigzid and I bet within a month you would have her identified. I'm sure she would have shared her story with family members. What an amazing find - how could you top that!
I love how you value all the small details that many people would just see as useless rubbish.
Simple things such as an old tube of toothpaste really remind us that these were not just groups of soldiers caught up in a terrible conflict, but individual human beings.
What a fantastic story! Danke for sharing the cleaning and letting us watch the story unfold with you.
The Odds of that happening must be unimaginable. What a remarkable historic find. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Definitely awesome...and excellent work straightening out the bent parts.
I really get very intrigued when you get into personal finds and find things close to the people themselves... and something like that box with that beautiful art scratched into it is very heart-touching.
I got to thinking about the spent cartridges and the stories they tell... many times that firing-pin dent on that primer button could have been the time a man got killed and the feelings he felt at that last breath...and the man who
pulled the trigger that caused that dent and sent that bullet...what did that man feel at the time. Very intense mix. no doubt.
Warm Hello WW2HH,
Watching this video is a moving experience, on many levels, my friend.
As the grandson of a WW1 Veteran, and nephew of a WW2 Veteran, it isn't difficult to imagine the significance of that silver case to both the man who owned it and the man who engraved the artwork upon it.
My late uncle told me of times the men in his unit would sit and create trench art with the few items to hand. An empty shell casing, and old nail, a broken hacksaw blade, and a small hammer.
History showing us what "life" was like during those moments when the guns weren't firing, and shells or bombs weren't falling on "those men who were there".
Kind and Respectful Regards, WW2HH, Uyraell, NZ.
i agree , great little piece it is. Thanks again my friend for great comment.
this was a story that needed to be told after all of this time. the spirits of these people wanted it to be. they did so through you and that good sir is a privilege that very few in life will experience. thank you for sharing that with the world.
Thanks Gizmo
Yes, that was truly amazing. A miraculous look into an individual soldier's life. Thanks for sharing this!!!
yes , sometimes small details can be very exiting to find. Thanks.
I want to join you on your History hunts!I love the old history of ww2!.
Appreciate you watching and taking time to comment.
You can find toothpaste tubes, combs, toothbrushes, game pieces but when you find a cigarette case you have really found a personal item of a soldier. Really great find and amazing that you found the second half a few years later. I enjoy watching you clean these items and restoring them. The clasp you found at the beginning of the video looks to be a more modern item from a different time frame. It’s surprising how some items are still above ground while others are buried. Are the round games pieces used for one particular game or multiple games? I love watching these videos over again.
Yes this was such a great find and the story it could have told us if we only had been there. Thanks Anthony.
What a wonderful find and thanks for sharing with us again.
Our pleasure!
WOW! I am truly amazed, seeing you put the 2 pieces together, gave me goosebumps. Quite a fortunate find, congratulations!
yes a great adventure it was. Thanks
That is such a beautiful piece. How awesome that you found the next piece and could make it complete! So exciting History Hunter.
Fingers crossed!
I really enjoyed watching this amazing discovery again- not boring at all! Simply awesome experience! That is why you revisit locationswhen you can♥️
Amazing video documentation. It feels like this story was waiting for you to tell it.Thanks for putting this story together again.
Thanks and greetings to you.
truely amazing. im glad you were able to reunite the two parts after 70 years to find both parts separately. was really. lucky
Was for sure a special moment when i found it yes. Thanks for watching.
Imagine if the lady who had given this to the soldier saw this and recognized it. What a special find. Thanks for sharing
i agree would have be incredible. Thanks
Your finds, prove history is everywhere!
Thanks Sandra
This video is absolutely AMAZING that you for making these videos
Very glad you like it and a greeting Your way from WW2HH :)
The SIGRID was a ship that had his home in Oslo. Bombed and damaged by allied aircraft on March 22-1943 at St. Nazaire, but repaired.
Appreciate Your feedbacka nd for watching Josefine :) WW2HH
Josefine Nagy oh damn. that would explain the planes on the case. also the writing matches. although why would anyone carve it to the case? i would get it if it was a sailor who had warm feelings for his ship, but the other findings historyhunter had dug up were luftwaffe rank insignias so that doesnt add up. strange
Wow you think the guy making this video would have done a little bit of research and figured out what you found. How hard is it to think that the word Oslo is in reference to a location?
Josefine Nagy when I read your comment my emotions couldn't believe.. Its breathtaking, wow. This really shows how many (bad and sad)things a soldier see and experience
Just found your channel. Great for when i'm playing games like Hearts of Iron. Love the enthusiasm.
Thanks Tom
Thanks for sharing this! It's all interesting bits of history made more real by the personal items you discover. I appreciate very much that you show respect for what you find and for the previous owners. Awesome that you found the two halves of the cigarette case (or whatever it is) on separate occasions.
All my pleasure and thanks for taking time to watch.
Thanks for the time and effort you put in to your channel. I find your recordings so entertaining.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks and appreciate you watching.
The trench art is amazing. What an awesome find
Great surprise it is. Thanks
This is a great little story, thanks for digging it up for us to see.
+Adrianij So glad You watched and thanks
Facinating work, keep it up. You are bringing to life those moments from the war era, both amazing and terrifying at he same time.
+skycom Will do that and appreciate You watching.
Such an amazing and interesting find! The possibilities of the stories that could be behind this relic are breathtaking.
yes Justin , that is always in the back of my head doing this. WW2HH
Everyone should watch the WW2 movie, "Schindler's list". Best movie ever!
Thanks for watching.
I enjoy watching your videos and listening to your creative narrations. Keep up your great work!
Thank you very much!
Amazing art find ) Reminds me of the time i sat on a beach in australia getting back to the car i realised i had lost important things ! forward 15 years returning to same beach sat down ran my fingers throw the sand And yes you guessed it I found the very things i lost all that time ago ) so like your story if its meant to be its meant to be )
how cool and thanks my friend.
WOW !!! that is a really unique find History Hunter. Very awesome ....
+Michael Hayes yes a truly special relic. Thanks for watching
you have the best videos about ww2 history , good luck finding relicks comrade.
So glad to read that and Greetings to you.
Absolutely amazing, i love the channel and when you revealed the second peice after straightening it out, it gave me goosebumps! Love every single video and i cant wait for more!
Is a very special relic indeed. Thanks for taking time to watch.
i'm waiting on a book from my local library. It is about Sigrid,Oslo, Norway who worked the Underground in Norway & Denmark.I finished reading about the Churchill Club in Denmark. They were barely teens standing up to the German war machine in their own way.
Congratulations on your most excellent find.It pays never to give up.
Huggs,silky
+silky says There is lots of history out there and i am glad to see that you take part in the past and the future by Reading about it. Thank You very much and hope you keep on looking at history. Greetings from WW2HH
it is enjoyable when presented this way.We learn & use it.part2 of book is not available.
Thank you good teacher.
Huggs,silky
Id like to see your collection! Ive been watching your videos for awhile now and I know you have an amazing collection.
Thank you for finding this wonderful piece of history
+J Altenburg thank You for taking time to watch
Nice job cleaning the little box up really nice find!
+58belvedere Did my best. Thanks for sharing
Great moments of finding history, I love all of your videos and sharing your experiences vicariously, I would love to have the opportunity to be able to explore actual combat areas of WWII
+Silver Hunter At least history is everywhere so You do have something. Thaks for taking interest in my videos.
Awesome! One of my favorites of all of your videos! Thanks for sharing.
Highly appreciated and Greetings from WW2HH.
Great video as always. Keep up the good work
this is honestly just such a beautiful find
i agree. Thanks
Very valuable piece you got there of Trench Art. Collectors would definitely be interested in it.
+Iceslab probably not. only value is the historical one. Thanks for watching.
Sigrid is an Norwegian womans name / Oslo is norways capital so i presume that it was a gift from someone named "Sigrid" to probably some german soldier most likely. long distance & much history in that one item cool find & nice details
Thanks for watching.
Really cool to see art come from what usually amounts to be rubble. Nice to be able to reflect a little on the notion that German soldiers were more then just machines. Thanks for sharing i'm sure Zigrid would be very happy to know that he has been remembered for his hopes and dreams rather then his commanded duty. Nice little piece of mind you have given from a time of such despair. Keep up the good work, It is making a difference for the better.........
+Derredmax All soldiers are human beings and even war keeps some being that. Thanks for watching and take care.
Crackin finds. Doing my usual binge watching while making the dinner. Would love to visit these places one day 👍 🏴👍.
Hope you enjoy
You were right, this is incredible. It`s been a long time since I watched this episode.
Great adventure and story. Thanks Allen :)
great video man and good luck in the future
i love ww2 relics, good job, find it all !!!!
I like it when history is joined together you did it HH thanks !👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That was one in a lifetime chance to connect the dots properly. Thanks so much Mark.
This is one of the best WWII searching videos I have ever seen! I absolutely adore your channel. What country are you from? Your english is very understandable. Great job.
Thanks for comment and for watching :)
Great find and yes I would agree with the comment that the original owner was mortally wounded. I do appreciate your videos, war is such a terrible thing, I have experienced it first hand.
My grandfather was Judge Advocate General Europe during World War II so my family history of military background goes back quite a ways.
thank you for Chronicle lies in our past even if it is one of our darker moments but history must be remembered or we're doomed to repeat it.
our new Journeys be safe and be careful of ammunitions, my friend.
+Christopher Na Pier Thanks for sharing Cristopher. Appreciate it.
+WW2HistoryHunter Also I must say being a History buff I am envious that I am not in Europe, being that the US is so young in its history. your backyard it like a dream consider what might be found. Keep up the good work!
My thought when I saw the inscription of Oslo, 1943 and the what I believe to be Edelweiss was that this case was made and sold as a souvenir. Your guess is as good as mine about Sigrid. The fact that the case is aluminum and not silver would seem to say souvenir and not gift. In any case, a nice find.
well , who knows. It has all the typical details of a thing that a soldier would carry. But we will never know for sure. Thanks for watching.
Wonderful ....I really enjoy watching you uncover history ! Your content should be on the Discovery Channel...on mainstream Television. Your content is good and your narrative is excellent. Again.... Thank you for sharing the history that you uncover...with all of us viewers.
Thanks for kind comment and for watching.
Gday I’m Paul, I live in Australia 🇦🇺 the state of Tasmania a island state at bottom of mainland Australia. Anyway I’m writing to say I love your Chanel , you take us to many places the war was at . You find amazing artefacts and everything. I love these sought of Chanel’s from Europe the Russian Chanel’s are great also but I find yours more informative. I wish I could have the money to get over there were your from and go on a hunt with you . It would cross one thing off my bucket list .. anyway mate keep up the good work. Love your work. Cheers
Thank you very much Paul for your kind words , greatly appreciated and very glad you are with us. Greetings from us and be safe.
Love ur videos been subbed watching 4 awhile that has to be one of the best finds I've seen so personal but both parts back together after 70yrs. But to be found years apart by you amazing. Watched a couple videos 2day that smoking case beautiful it had be u that found it show the world treasures of history thank you looking forward to ur adventures in 2018 Happy New Year u & ur family take care from Ireland
Great video! Great find, greater work on the clean-up. One thing I would suggest (maybe it was before and apologies for the repeat). Do you mind including a scale on the picture next time so that we can tell the size of the object? Looking at the case again, I feel it is a little small for cigarettes? But given the size, I really don't understand how it was used. Maybe a few pieces of chocolate?
WW2 History Hunter I am aware of one man from Oslo, Norway. He is Engelhart Cornelius Ostby who partnered with Nathan B. Barton in 1879 and formed Ostby- Barton jewelry company. Mr. Ostby perished on the Titanic in 1912. What a cool video this is. Thank You Sir. From America.
Thanks and Greetings from us.
Excellent story, thank you for sharing...
thank-you brilliant channel keep it up, and best of luck in the future
What incredible finds! Great job!
Thanks a bunch!
I know this is not ww2 related, but this reminds me of a purchase of an 18th Century letter I had. Small story. Love Lyon. Bought letter sent to Lyon from Paris, from a French seller. Some while later I bought another letter sent from Lyon, but earlier than the first: from a seller in Germany. It turned out, unknown at time of purchasing, both were written by the same man. Hope you can see the connection ;)
how cool is that . Thanks for sharing and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter
further reading suggests it may be the property of a soldier from the 139 Mountain regiment, (from 3rd Division)which was left in Norway when the bulk of the division was sent the the eastern from in 41.....
+Guy Ottaway Your observtions are much appreciated and thanks for comments and for watching Sir.WW2HH
Maybe so but this relic belonged to Sigrid Nordrum...resistance fighter for the British in Norway. How it got there, one can suppose. Amazing artifact!! Legendary!!!!
@@timothymaynard5122 My Morfar was in the resistance . This makes me so happy that Sigrid was there.
what a beautiful find comrade. waiting for you to find a k98.
Thanks for watching.
Oh man haha, that would be so incredible to find a K98.
Love your videos,, thanks for sharing
wonderfully enjoyed the find and the art story it takes time patience thank you
Thank You very much Franz
Wow so beautiful , great find . 💜👍👍👍
That was a very exciting day and so glad we could share that with you :) Thanks Wendy :)

+Awesome dude Thank You for watching dude
What an incredible find! Great History!
+chevywheels56 History is always exiting and this day was no exception. Thanks for taking interest Chevy.
Awesome relic dude! Hope you can find more!
+EpicIpad Will try my best. Glad You watched.
I flipped out when he found a nest with eggs SOOOOO COOOL!!!!!!!! XD
Thanks for watching :)
I LOVE your videos ! You should so much have a tv show on national geographic :) By the way does it say Oslo o it? I live in Oslo . Thanks buddy.
+cptoscar No no no , having a chennel here is more than enough :) It says Oslo yes. Thanks for watching and appreciate Your support. WW2HH
Terrific videos, relics, testimonies, bunkers, rockets.
I wonder if you ever considered organizing a little museum or a permanent exhibit with help of your town/city authorities!
+Raffaele Irlanda well , i have my own museum sort of. Thanks for watching
Amazing how you found the other piece after so long. Absolutely beautiful find!!! Great job on cleaning it and correcting that corner. Wonder if the soldier was German or Finnish???
Yes that was truly special to find and so glad i did. Very nice story as well. I think it was a German soldier who owned it.Thanks Colleen.
what an amazing relic! really nice video. Greetings from Belgium
Thanks Belgium and greetings
That ink bottle made think of the ones waiting for a letter from the front and the brokenness of the artifact was mirroring the brokenness and sorrow of the sweethearts back home for the ones fallen on both sides. How sad! We keep making the same mistakes, for not only death and taxes are a sure thing in this present state of affairs, but one may sadly say that war is almost a sure thing in our present fallen condition.
Could be yes and i loved to see that. Thanks Maria for being here :)
thats was epic my friend ,,awsome find .
Thanks Panda
Cig case: not amateur, not professional :) My vote is that the soldier did it himself, or had a prisoner "commemorate" events for him. Beautiful piece of trench art - beautiful reunion of them!!
ok and thanks my friend.
imagine how cool it would be to find a case like that with a name on it and find the owner still alive somewhere.
Thanks so very much for sharing this incredible miraculous find. Have you tried to trace the identity of the engraved name? I wonder what the background story is. Regards from Ireland.
i havent done to much Research around it but it seems to have a good story. Thanks for wathcing Robert
Amazing, what a find and so good to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it
Totally Awesome!! Nice find
Thanks Michael
How many different metal detectors have you used over the years. Mine is pretty good but not real expensive. It’s a Panky but I’ve been Pleased and impressed with it for the price. It will pick up 10 inches in the ground. It also came with a pin pointer. It works for what am doing with it. There’s more to WW2 history than just guns and ammunition and vehicles and planes. The ink well tells a story along with the little statue you found. All your finds are fantastic. Did that toothpaste tube say funke on it? I don’t know if I would want to use that lol. I thought they only used trench art in WW1. I learned something new again. What are the chances of finding one side of a cigarette case and then later go back at a later time and find the other side of it. That’s an amazing and fantastic find.
i have used around 7 different types / machines. Every machine works ok some work better some worse. It is more about the suer then the machines i feel. The toothpaste i cant remember. Great finds and thanks Anthony.
